Winter Covers, Safety vs Floating

[CarlD]

Animals? I think a safety cover is to protect PEOPLE. The animals cannot get to my pool in winter, because it is still fenced. But a person can. I have a mesh safety cover and it was the ideal choice for me.

Hehe. You'd think PEOPLE would be smart enough not to walk on the cover. In my case I have 3 dogs that can get into the pool yard if someone forgets to close the gate on the deck. But so far they have been smart enough not to walk on it. But even with a fence around the pool, the wild life seems to find a way underneath it.

I'm just wondering if those who have tried them think they were worth the cost and would do it again. And if there is any reason other than safety to go that route. It seems like you switch one set of problems for another.
